The split that decides your rate

HSN 4819 has a clean two-way split:

  • 5% IGST: cartons, boxes and cases specifically made of corrugated paper/paperboard, or non-corrugated paper/paperboard.
  • 18% IGST: all other goods under the 4819 heading that don't fit that carton/box/case definition.

If you manufacture shipping cartons or packaging boxes, you're almost certainly in the 5% bracket. But other paper-based packaging products classified under the same broad code — anything not specifically a carton, box, or case — defaults to 18%. Worth double-checking which side of that line your exact product sits on.

This is one of several HSN codes carrying more than one GST rate under the same heading — see the full list of examples.
